Abstract

A motor control device includes a power-consumption calculator that calculates a power loss L according to a motor current I or according to the motor current I and a motor velocity v, and calculates a motor output W from a product of the motor velocity v and a torque τ or thrust force, to determine whether a regenerative resistance is in an energized state. When the regenerative resistance is in an energized state, if a total value W+L of the power loss L and the motor output W is equal to or greater than 0 (W+L≧0), the power-consumption calculator calculates a power consumption P as W+L, and if a total value W+L of the power loss L and the motor output W is less than 0 (W+L<0), the power-consumption calculator calculates the power consumption P=0.
